Abstract
One particular challenge in constructing geotextile tubes is ensuring proper alignment and leveling, especially when connecting them in a series. This study introduces a novel connection configuration to address this challenge by inserting an auxiliary tube between two main tubes. The proposed connection method offers the advantage of consolidating individual geotextile tubes into a unified structure while maintaining a consistent horizontal level. The proposed connection technique was successfully applied both at test site and on dry construction platform for bridge construction. This study is beneficial for practicing engineers as it presents a new and effective method for connecting geotextile tubes, offering valuable insights into its practical application.
期刊介绍:
The range of products and their applications has expanded rapidly over the last decade with geotextiles and geomembranes being specified world wide. This rapid growth is paralleled by a virtual explosion of technology. Current reference books and even manufacturers' sponsored publications tend to date very quickly and the need for a vehicle to bring together and discuss the growing body of technology now available has become evident.
Geotextiles and Geomembranes fills this need and provides a forum for the dissemination of information amongst research workers, designers, users and manufacturers. By providing a growing fund of information the journal increases general awareness, prompts further research and assists in the establishment of international codes and regulations.
